J.D. Vance Implores Billionaire Peter Thiel to ‘Get Off the Sidelines’ and Back Donald Trump
August 30, 2024

Donald Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, has urged billionaire businessman Peter Thiel to “get off the sidelines” and throw his weight behind their efforts to defeat leftist Kamala Harris.

In an interview with The Financial Times in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin, Vance said that although he recognized that Thiel was tired of politics, things in America will get a lot worse if he doesn’t rally behind their campaign.

“I’m going to keep on talking to Peter and persuading him that — you know he’s obviously been exhausted by politics a little bit — but he’s going to be really exhausted by politics if we lose and if Kamala Harris is president,” Vance explained.

“He is fundamentally a conservative guy, and I think that he needs to get off the sidelines and support the ticket,” he continued.

Thiel has so far declined to comment on the suggestion.

Having helped bankroll Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, Thiel said last year that he did not intend to give any money to Republican causes during the 2024 campaign cycle but admitted there’s “always a chance I might change my mind.”

The two men are understood to have a close relationship, with Vance having previously worked at Thiel’s venture capital firm, Mithril Capital.

Thiel was highly influential in Vance’s rise from mere venture capitalist to United States Senator. During the 2022 midterm cycle, Thiel contributed $10 million to a super PAC supporting Vance’s candidacy, which provided crucial funding during the Republican primary, where Vance faced a crowded field.

He also supported other Republican candidates, including Arizona’s Blake Masters and Wyoming’s Harriet Hageman, who was responsible for ousting the treasonous Liz Cheney.

During a recent conversation at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Thiel seemed at best lukewarm about Trump’s candidacy, merely stating that he would ultimately support him over then-candidate Joe Biden.

“If you hold a gun to my head, I’ll vote for Trump,” Thiel said at the time. “I’m not going to give any money to his super PAC.”

First American-Sent F-16 Fighter Jet Destroyed in Ukraine, Killing Veteran Pilot – Kiev Source Suggests Plane Was Struck by Friendly Fire From Patriot Air Defense System

First American-Sent F-16 Fighter Jet Destroyed in Ukraine, Killing Veteran Pilot – Kiev Source Suggests Plane Was Struck by Friendly Fire From Patriot Air Defense System
August 30, 2024

Wunderwaffen is down.

Awaited since May 2023, the F-16 fighter planes were the last in a series of ‘wonder weapons’ that were expected to turn the tide of the war in Ukraine – but did not.

While it’s shocking in itself that the much-awaited plane would be destroyed in its very first mission, when we investigate how it could have happened, it becomes even more disturbing.

The incident occurred during the August 26th mass air raid over Ukraine, where Geranium drones and a variety of missiles – including supersonic Khinzals – brought destruction to all regions of Ukraine.

The Russian Federation sources claim the plane was hit on the ground during refueling – probably preparing to scramble out of harm’s way.

Ukrainian sources, for their part, claim it crashed while on a flight trying to bring down attacking drones.

Some outlying claims have the fighter shot down in an ambush by a Russian Su-57.

Ukrainian pilot Oleskyi Mês.

What everyone seems to agree is that the F-18’s crash or otherwise means of destruction killed veteran Ukrainian pilot Oleskyi Mês.

But what seems the most disturbing is a version of the events floated by a Ukrainian deputy of the Vekhovna Rada Maryana Bezuhla:

“According to my information, the F-16 of the Ukrainian pilot (squadron commander) Alexey ‘Moonfish’ Mes was shot down by a Patriot air defense missile system due to a lack of coordination between units. The reports noted that he ‘lost control’.

The event occurred during one of the most powerful air attacks by the Russians on August 26.

War is war, such episodes are possible. But the culture of lies in the Ukrainian Air Force Command, as well as in other senior military headquarters, leads to the fact that the military decision-making system does not improve based on truthful, consistently collected analytics, but worsens and even collapses, as is happening in the Pokrovsky direction. And not a single general has been punished. General Oleshchuk remains in office,” said Maryana Bezuglaya.”

As for US sources, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh has confirmed the loss of the plane, but refused to comment on whether it was indeed a Patriot that brought the plane down.

Simplicius on Substack:

“It’s also quite possible—and in fact probably more plausible than the official story—that the F-16 did not gloriously go down swinging, after heroically shooting down several Russian drones and missiles, but that it was infact destroyed on the ground just as the Russian MOD had stated. You’ll recall during the large-scale strikes days ago, the Russian MOD said two F-16s were potentially destroyed in their hangars.”

Rising Democrat Star Gov. Wes Moore Gets Exposed After Falsely Claiming to be Bronze Star Recipient

Rising Democrat Star Gov. Wes Moore Gets Exposed After Falsely Claiming to be Bronze Star Recipient
August 30, 2024

Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore has apologized for falsely claiming to be a Bronze Star recipient on a White House fellowship application.

In an exclusive report, The New York Times reported when Moore was 27 years old and applying for a position in the White House, he embellished his military service record by claiming he was a recipient of the prestigious Bronze Star.

The New York Times obtained Moore’s application from the Freedom of Information Act.

In response to the report, Moore claimed he made “an honest mistake” in failing to correct the inaccuracies in his application.

Moore further stated, “While serving overseas with the Army, I was encouraged to fill out an application for the White House Fellowship by my deputy brigade commander. In fact, he helped me edit it before I sent it in.”

“At the time, he had recommended me for the Bronze Star. He told me to include the Bronze Star award on my application after confirming with two other senior-level officers that they had also signed off on the commendation,” added Moore.

Per AP:

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said Thursday he made “an honest mistake” in failing to correct a White House fellowship application 18 years ago when he wrote he had received a Bronze Star for his military service in Afghanistan though he never ended up receiving it, after the New York Times obtained a copy of the application and reported on it.

The newspaper, which obtained the document as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, reported that Moore made the claim on the application in 2006 when he was 27.

In a statement, the governor wrote that he had been encouraged to fill out the application for the fellowship by his deputy brigade commander serving overseas in the Army. At the time, Moore said the deputy brigade commander had recommended him for the Bronze Star — and told him to include the award on his application “after confirming with two other senior-level officers that they had also signed off on the commendation.”

Toward the end of his deployment, however, Moore said he was disappointed to learn he had not received the Bronze Star. When he returned home, Moore said he was “focused on helping my fellow veterans, a mission I continue to advance as governor.”

The New York Times report comes weeks after Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz was outed after he falsely claimed he carried “weapons of war in war.”

JUST IN: Dem AG Appears To Threaten Street Artist SABO After His Brilliant Artwork Blaming Kamala For Illegal Alien Invasion Appears On Street Signs, Bus Stops In Aurora, CO
August 30, 2024

Yesterday, the internet was blowing up with a shocking video showing an illegal alien gang from Venezuela taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.

Here’s the horrifying video, shared by Fox 31 reporter Vincente Arenas:

MJ Ultra Truth shared this incredible interview with Danielle Jurinsky, an Aurora City co-council member who spoke with Fox News to explain the horrors citizens of Aurora, CO, are facing at the hands of an extremely violent and dangerous Venezuelan gang.

Fox News host Shannon Smith asked Ms. Jurinsky about the local gang leader “Cookie Monster,” who has literally taken over the city, and according to the Fox News host, Cookie Monster has ordered gang members to “attack police when they are confronted. The Aurora city council member confirmed that she had heard about Cookie Monster and that he was arrested and has been released. “This is no less than a complete gang takeover,” calling the gang leader’s arrest and subsequent release “An epic failure to the people of Aurora and the entire state of Colorado.”

Watch:

According to the New York Post, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening.

The radical leftist governor of Colorado mocked Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky, saying, “according to police intelligence this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”

Two weeks ago, we shared an incredible art display on the streets and walled-off entryways to the DNC Convention with powerful messages aimed at the Marxist Democrats speaking at the event in Chicago.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS and VIDEOS: Street Artist SABO Pays Surprise Visit to DNC Convention — Uses His Unconventional Art To Remind Dishonest Dems America’s Not Buying Their Propaganda

The art was created by the well-known street artist Sabo. Much of his work is available for purchase on his Unsavory Agents website. Sabo relies on donations to pay rent and cover his travel expenses and materials used to create his messaging. If you’d like to help out the former US Marine with his street messaging campaign, you can make a donation HERE.

At the DNC Convention, Sabo shared his brilliant messaging on the consequences of our vote in 2024. The simple image below, that shows a shopping cart brimming with food and beverages beautifully illustrates the strong economy that all Americans benefitted from during President Trump's first term in office vs. a grocery cart used by a homeless person, which represents the out-of-control inflation which has forced many to choose between gas, groceries or rent under a Biden-Harris regime.

Colorado’s far-left Democrat AG Phil Weiser was in attendance at the DNC Convention and touted a speech given by the far-left Sheriff Chris Swanson in his X account, who stated that choosing “hope” over “hate” will “protect” citizens of America, adding that Kamala Harris, who threw away the keys to the floodgates on our southern border, will someone “go toe-to-toe with the drug cartels” and “bullies?????” that she welcomed to our communities across America.

CO AG Weiser's X post proudly boasts: “Instead of hate, we chose hope”; “we need a leader to protect, serve, and unify us”; “she will go toe-to-toe with drug cartels and bullies. That’s @KamalaHarris.” - Sheriff Chris Swanson.

Yesterday, someone placed Sabo’s timely messaging at bus stops and on street signs in and around the dangerous city of Aurora, CO. Sabo's poignant artwork correctly depicts the Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, as the individual who is most responsible for the takeover of communities by illegal alien gangs across America in Aurora, CO.

The Sabo creation seen below, is made to look like a typical crossing sign and reads, “CAUTION…KAMALA’S ILLEGAL ALIENS.” It was strategically placed on “Nome St.” where the viral video showing the Venezuelan gang taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, CO.

Another Sabo sign, seen posted at a bus stop, depicts how Democrats have pushed the black community to the back of the bus, while prioritizing “Kamala’s Migrants.” Most Americans who are paying attention, now recognize that the invasion of America was never about helping the less fortunate, but instead, about registering tens of millions of citizens of foreign nations to vote in our elections. The messaging from the Democrat Party has been crystal clear—the Democrats welcome you to the US, in return we expect your votes.

The far-left CO AG Phil Weiser, who has come under fire for allowing Colorado to become infiltrated with violent illegal alien gangs, wasted no time issuing a not-so-veiled threat against the street artist Sabo, who clearly shares an opposing view to that of the weak-kneed attorney general.

While AG Weiser has yet to tweet about the viral video shared across social media showing a Venezuelan gang takeover of an apartment complex in Aurora, CO, he was quick to address Sabo's artwork seen in and around  the streets of Aurora, CO., calling it “appalling, illegal and hateful.” In a not-so-veiled threat, the far-left AG warned, “Hate against any of us must be treated as hate against all of us.”

George Behizy shared a video showing the Mayor of Aurora, CO, confirming that the Venezuelan illegal aliens gangs have indeed, taken over several apartment complexes and pushed out the property managers so they could extort rent from the tenants:

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk shared a video showing moms who are scared to death for their safety and for the safety of their children:

Only last week, CBS News reported about the anger Aurora Police Chief Mark Hildebrand felt when watching the body cam footage of Aurora police officers being shot at when they responded to a call about a stolen vehicle.

"During this encounter, over 20 rounds were fired at our officers," Hildebrand said. "That's appalling. It's disturbing."

And frustrating, he added, as such encounters are happening more often.

"We're seeing this so much, and part of the reason why it's important to share this video is to show what our officers have to deal with," Hildebrand told CBS Colorado's Kelly Werthmann. "On any night, on any call, they can be confronted with a situation just like this.”

Aurora Police Chief Hildebrand cites the lenient judicial system as the primary reason crime is skyrocketing in the Aurora community.

Andy Ngo shared this incredible video of the Aurora apartment complex that has been commandeered by the illegal alien gang from Venezuala.

Instead of criminally prosecuting and removing these illegal alien gangs, top elected Democrat officials in the state of Colorado are focused on attacking those who are telling the truth about what’s happening in and around Denver, CO., where it’s estimated that over 40K Venezuelans have been dumped by our government. Has our country ever been more upside down?

Wells Fargo Employee Died at Her Desk – Staff Didn’t Notice Until Four Days Later!

Wells Fargo Employee Died at Her Desk – Staff Didn’t Notice Until Four Days Later!

Wells Fargo Employee Died at Her Desk – Staff Didn’t Notice Until Four Days Later!
August 30, 2024

An investigation is underway after a 60-year-old Wells Fargo employee was left deceased at her desk for four entire days before she was discovered.

In what was presumably a typical day at the office, Denise Prudhomme scanned in for work at around 7 am on August 17th at the Wells Fargo branch in Tempe, Arizona.

However, she is believed to have died at some point during that day after she never scanned out of the premises.

Four days later, on-site security is understood to have found her in her cubicle, at which point they contacted the emergency services.

Prudhomme was then pronounced dead at 16:55. A cause of death has still not been determined, although there are not believed to be any signs of foul play.

However, questions are now being asked about how she could possibly have gone unnoticed for so long.

One worker, speaking to local media affiliate KPNX on the condition of anonymity, expressed her concern about the troubling situation.

The outlet reported:

The body was found inside the Wells Fargo corporate office in Tempe. An associate who spoke with 12News anonymously said the situation is troubling.

“To hear she’s been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick,” the worker said. “And nobody did anything. That’s how she spent her last moments.”

Another employee who spoke with 12News anonymously said a colleague found Prudhomme dead at her desk in a cubicle while walking around the building.  Prudhomme’s cubicle was reportedly on the third floor and away from the main aisle. That employee said several people smelled a foul odor but passed it off as faulty plumbing.
They said while most employees at the Wells Fargo office work remote, the building has 24/7 security and someone should have found Prudhomme sooner. “That’s the scary part. That’s the uneasy part,” the employee said. “It’s negligence in some part.”
Police are now investigating the circumstances around the incident. In a statement, Wells Fargo did not acknowledge any possible negligence on behalf of their branch.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague at our Tempe office,” the statement read. “Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
“Counselors, through our Employee Assistance Consulting service, are available to support our employees,” they continued. “We are fully cooperating with the Tempe Police Department in their investigation and will direct all further questions to them.”
